Sony will eventually take an approximate $100 million loss on writing off the movie.

Meanwhile, stars Seth Rogen and James Franco have moved on to their next project: a gross-out, buddy road comedy about the Hajj.

One resident sees the landscape and what can be done with his camera, at night, from afar, if he’s patient…

David McColm is not your ordinary Whistler photographer. His masterpiece time lapse images forego the familiar hero shots of big mountain athletes and picture-perfect ski models for a more artistic rendition of winter’s playground. Inspired by centrifugal skylines and mountainscapes, McColm’s quest to get the shot captures the microcosmic synergy that thrives in Whistler.

]]>The first official teaser trailer for Disney’s Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens was released in theatres and online today, soaring into the afternoon with multi-million views on YouTube and generally being praised by the franchise’s huge fan base.

Singled out as highlights were the Millennium Falcon, a new-look lightsaber, and the absence of any sign of Jar Jar Binks.

Reached for comment, a Warner Bros. Pictures spokesperson said that in retrospect, today might not have been the best day to put out their trailer for The Postman 2.

He probably had to rob the same store twice because it was the only one left in town.

Will he face extra charges due to the fact that video rental stores are now protected national heritage sites?

Check the suspect description, and then be on the lookout for a man carrying cash, cigarettes and a VHS copy of Cocktail.

As he enters the last quarter of his two-term presidency, Obama will have to search elsewhere to establish his landmark legacy.

His predecessors, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, left office with a comic book library and dry cleaners named after them, respectively.

]]>The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are commanding prices around $1800 on the black market in China, as Apple fans there wait for the government to approve the products.

Authorities seized more than 600 new phones over a three day period, interrupting a route which can originate as far away as New York and is often delivered by boat from Hong Kong.

For an additional $500, the smugglers will ensure you get a 6-series phone without the iOS 8.0.1 update, that hasn’t been transported in someone’s back pocket.

The attack in Clackamas County (an area known for purported UFO and Bigfoot activity) continued before a fellow camper shot the creature dead with a BB gun.

It’s the latest incident in a series of conflicts between bats and rock music, which began with Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off one in concert and includes Prince recording the soundtrack album to Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie.

I certainly hope the letter was delivered by a different courier service than the one that allegedly took the video to the NFL offices back in the spring.

There are only two possibilities here: either they never received the video; or they got it, but it garnered less viewing interest than The Expendables 3.

Although the chance of any connection between the two seems unlikely – “Hey, why is my phone’s e-commerce funding armed extremists in the mideast?” – the company’s CEO wants to avoid any name association with the reviled movement.

Other companies – for example, Monsanto – are thinking of picking up the Isis name to improve their public image.

It’s unclear how the book is selling: a search for “Milan Lucic” in Amazon Books brings up the “Encyclopedia of Sports Idiocy”, a March 2013 title by William Russo.
